IRAQI POLICE OFFICER

Policeman dies a hero smothering bomb blast 

AN IRAQI police officer was the hero of a suicide bomb attack in a crowded market street when he saved dozens of lives in the southern city of Hillah. A passer by saw the officer run towards a suicide bomber revealing a belt of explosives. The police officer threw his arms around the bomber, shielding others with his own body from the force of the blast.

“He hugged him and the explosives tore apart both bodies,” a witness said.

 I’m not sure what his name was but what a hero!
